So you are on Day 6?

So you are on Day 6?

Yep, seems we should see something by now. We'll check again on Wednesday. Its odd, we also have 6 Orpington eggs in that bator and they are thriving. Everything looks great. Not entirely sure whats going on if we know were getting fertile eggs? Maybe the one we cracked was lucky?
Not quite as exciting to have a breeding project if you aren't getting any chicks.

Photos of parent birds on Wednesday, but we're having some real trouble with these hatches. According to her, it doesn't seem like the eggs are making any progress. They're fertile, we've cracked them and seen a definite bulls eye. Storing them in the fridge so they wont get cracked or broken on the counter, and heard that may produce more females. Turning daily air cell up. Calibrated thermometer and humidity gauge in a NR360.
Why is this hatch proving so difficult. Anything obvious were doing wrong?

Crack one of the eggs you think is fertile and post it. I'd like to see what your working with.

Will do! Supposed she saw a clear bullseye, we'll double check on Wednesday. We may need to inseminate for these next eggs. This will be week 3 I think.

I usually Crack one random egg from a hen I'm working with each day to see if the fertility is consistent.
